Irena Briganti, the Fox News PR assassin known as the media world's most vindictive flack, is quoted in the press all the time. But she's notoriously photo-shy. In fact it's been almost impossible to find a decent picture of her. Until now.

A Tribeca photographer has come under fire for taking clandestine photos of his neighbors and making them available for public consumption through a Chelsea art gallery without the consent of his subjects.
Last week in Egypt, a group of Russian photographers apparently climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza—hiding from guards for four hours after closing time before beginning the ascent. Climbing the pyramid, one of the photographers claims, carries a punishment of one to three years. But it was worth it. "I was speechless," …
Almost two years ago I walked into the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx with my camera. I came because I was told not to go, that it was the poorest neighborhood in all of New York and one of the most violent in all of the United States. I was immediately drawn in by a humanity that transcended the headlines.
AP's chief photographer in Asia, David Guttenfelder, has been in North Korea for the past week. It's not his first time—it's his 20th, dating back to 2000—and it's not the first time he's been there with his phone, either. But it is the first time he's taking geotagged Instagram photos. He writes on his blog:
Today, the New York Times ran a story titled "Restaurants Turn Camera Shy," about the push back against the now ubiquitous act of diners taking photos of their food. As one would expect of a Times trend story about frivolous bullshit, no one profiled in the story comes off as sane and/or respectable. But who's the…
What were the most powerful images of the year? Which images inspired you, which images moved you to tears, and which images broke your heart? Sure, you could look at Buzzfeed's list of 45 "incredibly inspiring pictures" ("warning: Some of these may break your heart") — but who has time to scroll through 45 pictures?…
Don't let anyone tell you what isn't art. But I'll tell you what this art is: delicious. Ernie Button is a Phoenix-based photographer who has been thinking way too much about his breakfast table recently. He's constructed landscapes, both natural and manmade, using Arizona backdrops and cereal foregrounds. And he's…
The New York Times' Lens blog has posted a series of photographs of gay bears (as in gay dudes who identify as bears, not actual homosexual Ursidae) snapped by 30-year-old Alan Charlesworth. They're decent shots of dudes that are hairier and rounder than your average dude. They represent a visual alternative to the…
For people who have sex, legit sex—under the shirt touching and everything—on the reg, there is nothing more frustrating than constantly having to explain to others that they are the type of person who has sex.
Here's the first color photo from Curiosity, the two-billion dollar NASA robot that landed on Mars yesterday. What a crock of shit. This is the first color photo of Mars we're getting? An Instagram of a mountain? Is Curiosity taking photos with a RAZR? This is the worst photo I've ever seen. Fire everyone at NASA. […
Intergroom, the annual international grooming convention and competition, took place this past weekend at the Meadowlands Convention Center in Secaucus, NJ. It was colorful. Here's a play-by-play from photographer Dustin Fenstermacher.
Paris Fashion Week, with its flurry of models, luxury brands, fashionistas, onlookers and press, has now drawn to a close. During the course of its final days, we stalked around many of the shows and parties to capture a view of the atmosphere in the City of Lights. Scenes of the past week include glimpses of the…
Oh, how awkward. Not only did Time put an Asian guy on the cover of their "Yo Decido" cover about Latino voters, but the Asian guy in question is actually a member of the press. OC Weekly's Michelle Woo reports,
Only in New York would a bodega on Avenue A use the gorgeously dilapidated theater above it for a store room. Photographer Kevin Shea Adams got a glimpse inside what used to be the Hollywood Theater before it was shut down in 1959. Since then it's fallen apart, but that's part of what makes it spectacular.
Artists come up with some twisted stuff, but this project by Dutch visual artist Willem Popelier might be the creepiest project ever. He essentially cyberstalked two 14-year-old girls whose photos he found on a showroom laptop.
Last week, auction house Christie's sold the above photo by Andreas Gursky for $4.3 million, setting the record for all-time most expensive photo (the previous record was set by Cindy Sherman's "Untitled #96," which sold for $3.89 million).
Heather Morris, who plays the lovable idiot Brittany on Glee, is one of the show's breakout stars. But just what sort of indignities did she have to endure to pay the rent before she was famous? Looks like posing for cheesy stock photos was one of them.
Today the New York Times tells us the infuriating story of Todd J. Remis—a New York City man who is suing the studio H & H Photographers because he would like to recreate his wedding, and have it photographed the right way. He is being an idiot.
